We decided three years ago to sell the home we lived in for 18yrs (refinanced a couple of times so not much equity), but enough equity to purchase a condo at a good price.

I put it in the listing in three different places.

I believe we could have charged more in rent, being that it is split between three tenants rooming together.

Also in search for a Mentor not limited to any of the three places mentioned previously.

Now, that being said, we are still seeing vanilla ho-hum SFRs not only get accepted, but the completed report turned in, pretty fast (almost like they are taking a full appraisal fee, and just f-ing copy/pasting from the refi appraisal they did for the ho-hum SFR three blocks down as part of the refi boom with the same bedroom/bath count, ahem, cough cough, excuse me while I clear my throat).

Four of the five counties that comprise the Austin MSA have 0.6 months of housing inventory or less, Caldwell is the exception with 1.1 months of inventory which is still quite low given that experts agree 6 months of housing inventory is considered a balanced market between buyers and sellers.

@Mason Hickman hit it all in three strokes.

That's a pretty big request they're asking of you and it could delay your closing up to three months fencing contractors tend to be really busy this time of year.

If his numbers are less than you paid, then you can ask, but I don't think you should have any expectation of getting refunds.You are allowed reasonable actual damages from the delay, but if you didn't get revised timeframe from added work it'd be real easy for him to layout five months worth of labor on top of the original timeframe and attribute it to changes you requested.This sounds less like, "I overpaid" and more, "I didn't manage".

We are juggling between three different options to get started and would appreciate any and all insight/advice.
